Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0816892A2] A catadioptric lens system whose entire size is practically compact and is capable of providing a large numerical aperture in the ultraviolet band region is disclosed. The invention also provides photolithographic resolution of quarter micron levels and is easy to manufacture. The invention comprises, a first lens system S1 constructed with refractive members, a concave mirror M1, and a second lens system S2 constructed with refractive members to project a semiconductor device pattern from a reticle surface onto a substrate wherein at least said first lens system includes one or more aspherical surface(s) which point to the reticle surface. <IMAGE>
